| Just be pleasant and polite. If the dealer comes across as a jerk from the start, then just say, "Thank you for your time." and leave. Hulk 1s are hard to come by, so there may not be many in the room. Most trades I've seen are a combination of books and cash. | ||

| Yeah. I am extremely cash poor so I need to be heavy in the trade. So I'm thinking I might need to go a bit higher than his value to make it worth while on his end. | ||

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| Is it time for me to send my cgc qualified copy in? I'm mainly concerned about the value for insurance purposes if anything happens and how they would handle a claim with a qualified grade. clickable text  |

| @flanders There is no time like the present. You figure it is only going to go up in value. Might as well do it now. If you do registered mail and pack it bomb proof style you should be safe. |

| @Bronte be prepared to leave a phone number and walk away without a deal initially. If a dealer has more than one copy of Hulk 1, that's probably a better shot than a dealer with just one copy. | ||

| Yes, Dealer name and then a booth number. Booth number corresponds to aisle number. That said, I've only been once since FanExpo took over the show. | ||

| No problem. Three of the friendlier options that might have one would be Dale Roberts Comics, New Force Comics, and Bedrock City (if they attend). Filter81 might have a copy, but I can't remember the name of Adam's store (booth). High Grade Comics (Bob Storms) might have one, but he's a not quite as friendly option. Greg Reece is pretty nice. Superworld (Ted)or Haley Yee might have one as well. Plus, there is always the person you don't expect that could have one on their wall. Guys that might be more local like Cedar Chest Comics, if they attend. | ||

| Harley yee? Is that the Overstreet advisor? I bought a detective comics 168 back in the day from him and he refunded my money without so much as an apology or explanation. =( Edit It was on his website |

| Yknow my brother brought up a very good point. If I know if the dealers are going to be there, I can contact them ahead of time to see if they have a copy and what grade it's in. That way I know what to bring and such.... | ||

| Yes. You can swing a cat at a convention and hit an Overstreet advisor. He probable couldn't find or sold it at a show and forgot to remove it from his inventory. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte When selling books comic book dealers pay anywhere from 30-50% in $$$ Obviously for trade the percentage should be higher then 50% It will depend on the dealer and if they have not much in the Hulk they may not be interested in trade and prefer bragging ownership. Also depends if you've had a history as a customer on how good a deal you get. I've done tons of trades but nothing in the value of a hulk. Last one was for Superman 7 Had a undercopy of X-Men 94 in cbcs 4.0. Put out feelers here to sell and the highest offer was around $350 Superman 7 2.0 was priced $900 Comic dealer gave me a nice $500 trade for my X-Men so I had to pony up $400 cash. The X-Men cost me $80 originally so $480 all in for single digit Superman is a ok for me. But I've bought a lot so that was why I got a good trade for X-Men and there are easy buyers for that. Hulk 1 is a rare book and really sought after so they may not be interested in a trade if no cash is used. Good luck and let us know how you got on. Be polite and negotiate. And if not happy with the trade just respectfully decline and tell them good luck for the rest of the show  |

| When buying a hulk 1, always check the spine for black magic marker, it was common back in the seventies and eighties to run a sharpie down the spine on that book. Good luck, happy hunting, and be prepared to deal pretty hard to get one.....even a 3.0 anymore is hovering close to 25k and not getting cheaper anytime soon. | ||

| “ This book came from the Oregon Coast Collection, which is an exclusive label of TRL Comics, an online collectibles company owned by comics restorer Susan Cicconi and Orrin Zucker. The lot of books originates from a long-time collector in Oregon who was looking to retire. He contacted Cicconi through an ad for her restoration services about his books, and later partnered with her company to manage the sale of the collection.” | ||

Bronte private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @southerncross So when trading for the book I am expecting less than say 80% of my value on books? While I can understand that if I were selling for cash, trading wise you take a huge hit right from the beginning? @Darkseid_of_town I don't grade very well. There is no way I'm buying a raw copy. I'm aiming for a blue label. Can't do purple and green depends on what the reason is. |

| I have no idea. You would need to email them and ask. I would imagine that it would matter if they are consignments or not. | ||

| Just found answer. No to trades on consignments. Which both books are. =( I did email them a bunch of questions. If they offer enough, I might just sell the book out right to get it. Depending on how they answer, the question is do I go for the signed 3.0 or a universal 1.5? |

| @DrWatson Depending on their answer I might do that. I literally have about 5k in books I just sent to them fir consignment. I kinda want to have the option of going to Orlando as well though. I can't do both unless I start selling some of my core books, which I would prefer not to. I suppose everything hinges on their response. We shall see. But as my brother stated earlier, be prepared for disappointment. So don't get your hopes up too high without all tbe fscts... |
